Does anybody have any weetabix in their cupboards?
 

If you do could you just check for me to see if they have sugar listed as an ingredient
I use oatibix and was shocked to see sugar as an ingredient because i thought they were just oats so just curious really

There has been a bit of a ho ha recently about the sugar and salt levels being much higher in our versions of the well known brands compared to the same branded product sold in other countries

Wheat grains contain natural (grain) sugar
Chlorophyll and sugar content in wheat leaves as influenced by isoproturon application and its relationship with grain sugar content
Many natural foods do (especially fruit)
Even milk has natural sugar
Lactose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do not know whether the manufacturer of Weetabix adds refined sugar, but I think it unlikely

Re: Does anybody have any weetabix in their cupboards?
 

They don't list what the grains or fruits contain. The ingredients are what they add to the product.

They do add sugar to many cereals just like they add vitamins as naturally cereals contain little or no vitamins - kind of makes you wonder how natural these breakfast cereals really are doesn't it?

I hadn't looked at the next page of the Weetabix link.
Now I have and read-
Weetabix contains the following ingredients listed in order of amount used.Wholegrain Wheat (95%), Malted Barley Extract, Sugar, Salt, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Folic Acid.


So it does have 'added sugar'
I have just looked at my Readybrek - it doesnt

ps - but it does show 1gram of (natural) sugar per 100grams in the nutrition value list

Re: Does anybody have any weetabix in their cupboards?
 

Here is a quote from this page

So they are careful to say Ready brek contains no added sugar or salt but don't say "Ready brek and Wheetabix contain no added sugar or salt"
